General Michigan Development Thread

I read an article in the LSJ today about a development in Livingston County that was just approved. The development will be Livingston County's largest development in history, and will have more than 2,000 housing units over 1,200 acres.

There will be 995 single-family homes, 528 townhouses, 352 condominium units and 208-unit age-restricted condos.

The property is owned by Bill and Peter Anest of Illinois, and they expect another 18 months to get final site-plan approval.

    This is a huge development. It would be nice to see some regional cooperation among these counties to stop these sprawl developments. The infrastructure is not there for this, and the traffic will continue to get worse as people commute from further out.

    Not sure where else I'd post these, so I'll put them here. This is the redevelopment of the former K-Mart in Charlotte. I can't remember the developers right now, but I'll check the sign out front if I remember tomorrow. From what I've heard the tenants are to include Dunham's Sports, Peebles, and Panera Bread. Here are some pics of the current status.

    Since we're on the topic of other developments around Michigan. Here is the proposal for the Secchia Center in Grand Rapids that MSU is building for its new west campus Medical School.

    I'm still dissapionted that MSU is spending so much money on their GR campus, that could have been in Lansing, we need it. We don't have 2-3 multi-billionaire philanthropist to throw money at numerous non and for-profit investments, we need all the investment that we can get, especially from hometown entities.

    OK more info on the Charlotte development. The name of the project is going to be Charlotte Exchange. There are 10 suites available. The project website is at Alliance Commercial Group's website.

    Me too Hood. I've expressed those exact same thoughts.

    I read about this earlier. This is great news. So much of the problems that Detroit faces has to do with the suburbanization of the metro area and the lack of dependence on the central city. The more economic value that Detroit has, the better for the region.

    4,000 people? it sounds like this could be over 1 million sq ft. I can't wait to see some renderings.

    That's great news. Was it mentioned when they would complete the move?
